One of the things I’m enjoying most about LA is all of the freaky deaky plant life! I’ve never lived on the west coast so all these succulents and cacti look like Dr. Seuss on acid to me! My friend Josh actually told me that Dr. Seuss actually lived in San Diego, so this makes total sense. Anyway. These prehistoric plants are breathing and talking to me every day as I walk all over. Today this guy talked to me. My plant app said it was a Totem Pole Cactus but those don’t have spines, this guy does, so I’m still trying to find out his latin and colloquial name, but we will call him Tom. Tom has smooth flesh with nubby protrusions like hundreds of tiny angel toes. Tom has a soft smattering of hair-like quills which are a nod to his cactus heritage, while displayed in casual style conveying his commitment to nonviolence. Tom is looking for someone who gets him. Aren’t we all, Tom?!? #cactus #cactuslove #tomthecactus #cactuschronicles
